Apart from Leena Maria Paul, the four others who were held include Joel Jose Matthews (27), Kamlesh Kothari (40), Arun Muthu (31), and B Mohan Raj, according to the agency.
In 2019, Shivinder Singh and his elder brother Malvinder Mohan Singh were arrested by EOW for allegedly causing losses to the tune of Rs 2,397 crore to Religare Finvest Ltd, a subsidiary of Religare Enterprises.
Shivinder's wife Aditi claimed that she was cheated of several crores of rupees by Sukesh Chandrasekhar. Later Malvinder's wife Japna Singh also made a complaint about being cheated by people impersonating as high government functionaries.
Sukesh Chandrashekhar was sent to 16-day police remand in connection to the same case by the Delhi court.
The matter came to the fore when Aditi Singh approached the police on August 7 saying she ended up paying crores of rupees to Sukesh Chandrashekhar, who posed as an officer from the ministry of law.
“I was assured that the central government would be interested to work with my husband after making him an 'industry advisor' on Covid-related committees; he asked me to contribute to the 'party fund' and assured to set up a meeting either with the former law minister or the home minister,” Aditi Singh mentioned in her FIR, according to news agency PTI.
Earlier in August, police found that a manager of an RBL Bank in Connaught Place and his two associates were involved in duping Aditi Singh. The manager, Komal Poddar, and his associates, Avinash Kumar and Jitender Narula were arrested on August 20 for their connection with Sukesh Chandrashekar.
The Enforcement Directorate also filed an Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR) against Sukesh Chandrashekar.
